During the last battle at Fangjia Town, Tan Taixuan left early out of shame and did not see Mu Hanyan take action. He just thought that no matter how strong she was, she would not be able to reach that level. After all, her age was there. Even if she had a good talent, it was impossible for her to break through the chasm between the ninth-level swordsman and the great swordsman at such a young age. However, he never expected that Mu Hanyan actually reached the level of a great swordsman.
Moreover, judging from the power of the sword, his true combat capability is far more than just his cultivation level. It is almost the same to say that he is a semi-saint.
Luo Pengcheng was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. He originally thought that at Mu Hanyan's age, it would be good enough for her to have the strength of a fifth or sixth level swordsman. He didn't expect that she was actually a great swordsman. No wonder the children from the noble families behind her were so confident. It turned out that she had such confidence.
Not to mention them, even the strange beasts that were attacking frantically paused. They obviously did not expect that the powerful existence that made them all feel afraid would die at the hands of a human cultivator with just one sword.
If it were any other time, these strange beasts would have been frightened and fled, but this time the situation was different. After just a moment of silence, the strange beasts roared again and launched a crazy attack.
Mu Hanyan certainly noticed this subtle change. If she guessed correctly, this should be related to the mysterious underworld beast.
Mu Hanyan had originally intended to use the Angry Dragon Beast's death to activate the Divine Beast Contract, but upon seeing this, she abandoned the idea. While the confrontation with the Nether Beast in Beiguan Town hadn't significantly impacted her strength, it had completely depleted her spiritual power. She could no longer use the Divine Beast Contract and would have to wait for a more opportune opportunity.
"Summon your sword pets and attack with all your strength!" Mu Hanyan said to Yan Yuchu and others.
As soon as these words were spoken, He Qingzong and the others' faces flashed with excitement. They understood the importance of falsehood and reality on the battlefield, and they should not easily reveal their strongest strength unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, without Mu Hanyan's instructions, they would not show off their sword pets. Now was their time to show off.
"Roar... Roar..." Rays of light flashed, and dozens of sword pets appeared under He Qingzong and others.
The strongest and most dazzling ones are of course the four huge ones, with pale golden light flashing all over their bodies. Their strength is comparable to that of the ninth-level Red Cloud Golden Armored Elephants. Although the sword pets of others are a little lower in level, their strength is comparable to that of the sixth- and seventh-level sword masters. Moreover, most of them are known for their ferocity, and their attack power in battlefield fighting is not much different.
Luo Pengcheng was completely stunned. It turned out that their real confidence was not only Mu Hanyan's personal strength, but also these powerful beasts.
Tan Taixuan and his subordinates from aristocratic families were also dumbfounded. As they were all from aristocratic families in the capital, they knew each other's strengths very well. He Yan and other children definitely did not have any sword pets before. It was obvious that they got this after leaving the capital.
As far as they knew, the other party had never practiced any beast-taming techniques. The reason why he had such a powerful sword pet was of course because of Mu Hanyan.
Looking at Mu Hanyan again, they were filled with mixed feelings, and the same thought came to their minds: If they had known this would happen, they would have just followed Mu Hanyan.
Unfortunately, this wasn't something they could decide, but rather something that only the young master could decide. So, looking towards their young master, the eyes of the young men from the aristocratic families were filled with resentment.
Mu Hanyan, of course, had no idea what they were thinking, nor did she have the time to care. With a wave of her hand, over five hundred members of the aristocratic families behind her charged towards the strange beasts at Beining Pass.
At the front of the team, Zirong and Jiang Yuzhe wielded their swords like the wind, each swipe drawing a puff of blood. Two dragon-scaled, fire-patterned rhinos stood guard beside them, their iron hooves stomping on their horns like two sturdy shields.
Behind him, the children of the noble families who possessed sword pets were filled with fighting spirit, unleashing sword nets one after another. The sword pets around them also waved their claws, baring their sharp fangs. Although their sword pets were relatively insignificant, most of them were ferocious beasts excelling in attack. Their telepathic connection with their sword masters and their mutual cooperation greatly increased their combat effectiveness.
Although the other children of noble families did not have sword pets, they were also infected by it and their morale was high. They rushed to use their butcher knives to attack the strange beast.
Yan Yuchu, Zhang Chihua, Yan Yi, and Zhang Chihua rode on Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephants, each protecting the other flanks. Compared to the other aristocratic family disciples, they were far more powerful, and with the protection of the Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephants, they had absolutely no worries. The four Scarlet Cloud Golden Armored Elephants weren't idle either. While guarding the flanks, they also used their trunks to roll up huge rocks and hurled them at the surrounding enemies like catapults.
The fights between strange beasts are more brutal than the wars between human countries. These strange beasts are tamed and become sword pets, and they have no mercy on their own kind.
Hua Yue and Tang Bufan had both been injured before. Although the injuries were not too serious, they did affect their combat effectiveness to some extent. So they took the Iron-back Sabertooth Tiger and the Earth Bear to guard the end of the team to prevent the strange beasts from encircling them from behind.
However, their worries were obviously unnecessary. Although those strange beasts quickly recovered from the might of the Beast God in the Divine Beast Contract and regained their madness and bloodthirstiness, they were still afraid of Mu Hanyan. They were lucky to escape from the swords of Zirong and others in front of them, so how could they dare to attack from behind?
The two of them picked up quite a few fish that had escaped the net. With their strong combat power and defense, they killed no fewer strange beasts than Zirong and others before them.
Finally, the madness in the eyes of the strange beast gradually disappeared, revealing fear, and even began to quietly collapse.
"In the name of Aolai, I command all the beasts in the world. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who defy me will perish!" Mu Hanyan noticed the changes in the strange beast and took the opportunity to recite the contract with the divine beast again.
A wonderful rhythm surged between heaven and earth, and the pressure from the ancient beast god descended from the sky. All the strange beasts trembled all over, and they had no will to fight. Nearly half of them fell directly to the ground.
This time, I should be able to tame sword pets for other children of noble families. Mu Hanyan slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, at this moment, a beast roar suddenly came from afar, and a light red light pierced the sky. The pressure of the ancient beast god brought by the contract with the beast suddenly stagnated, as if it was held in the air by an invisible big hand.
Those strange beasts that were terrified and were about to sacrifice their master-servant contracts finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Awoo..." A strange beast suddenly raised its head and let out a long cry, then turned around and ran towards the canyon.
The other strange beasts were affected by this and began to howl sadly. They fled the battlefield with their tails between their legs out of fear of Mu Hanyan.
